Chapter 5%

Swallowing my grief, I slipped the phone into my pocket and rose, holding Kerry close as I headed for the car.

Suddenly, my wrist was grabbed and the phone snatched away.}

Brandon’s voice was ice cold.

“Where do you think you’re going?“}

“Leaving the Parrish family isn’t so easy. Think about your brother–he’s still in the private nursing home under our control.“}

“If I give the order, I can make his life worse than death.“I was stunned, frozen in place–unable to move a single step.

When my parents and brother returned from their overseas trip, they asked me to pick them up at the airport. I was busy working on the Skynet system and planned to send the driver instead, but Brandon volunteered the moment he found out.”

Halfway through the drive, a truck ran a red light and crashed into them. My parents died instantly. My brother, seated beside the driver, screamed, “Brother–in–law!“}

Brandon rushed over and shielded him, but in the process, his own brain was severely injured. His IQ was permanently reduced to that of a seven–year–old, and to make matters worse, doctors later diagnosed him with a brain tumor.

Though Brandon himself was only slightly hurt, guilt weighed heavily on him. He insisted on taking my brother to the Parrish family’s private sanatorium, where the country’s top medical team could better care for him.

Even though the truck was fully at fault, now Brandon is using my brother–whose life he saved–as leverage against me? Does he even have a conscience?}

I looked at him like a complete stranger.

I looked

“Why do you have to keep me here? Haven’t I already helped you and Marilyn? What else do you want?“}

Brandon sneered. “Marilyn says she’s seen us love each other for years, but now she wante watch our happiness with your own eyes.“>

I realized what he meant. He wanted me to attend their wedding.

Was that really necessary?}

Marilyn crossed her arms and raised her chin, her voice sweet but sharp:

“Anna, you’ll give us your sincere blessings, right?}

You won’t hold resentment because Brandon changed brides?}

After all, everyone knows he’s your whole world–and you’d never stop pestering him.

you to be a bystander for once–so you can

We can keep an eye on you here in the Parrish family. If you leave, who knows what schemes you might hatch?”

Brandon looked at me too, a mocking smile curling his lips.

I’m sure they thought I’d be as bitter and vengeful as Marilyn said.

“Fine,” I said, without hesitation. “Then I’ll wait–until after the wedding.“}

Brandon narrowed his eyes, suspicious if I truly meant it.

But i had already asked for my phone back and slipped away to the backyard with Kerry’s body.

With aching hands, I dug a hole and laid him to rest.

My poor Kerry… He may never understand in his lifetime the cruel irony between the man who built him a climbing frame and the man who threw him to his death.

As I buried him, Facebook messenger kept buzzing:

“Huh? Are you kidding me?”

“Is there a traffic jam? I’ll wait another hour.”

“An hour’s passed. Where are you? If you don’t come, I’m leaving!”

“Actually, I’m free today, so I can wait a bit longer…“}

I picked up my phone and typed:

“I’m really sorry. Can we postpone the certificate date by seven days? But you have to help me find two people to bring it back first, please.“%

No reply. Probably angry.!!

I sighed, rose, and returned to the living room–just in time to see Marilyn curled up on Brandon’s lap, acting like a spoiled child. “Brandon, buy me a new dog! Let’s raise it together!” she teased.”
